Story

An Olympic silver medalist (1996), a three time World Champion (1994, 1995, 1996), an ten time medalist at the World Championships, bronze medalist at the Individual Road Race World Championships, 17 career World Cup Mountain Bike Victories, medalist at the 1994 Commonwealth Games, and a three time medalist at the Pan American Games, Alison Sydor has demonstrated the consistency to win in nearly every discipline of cycling, all the while staying injury free throughout her career, a feat in itself.

Her transition from a successful professional cycling career has resulted in her being a mentor to many up and coming women cyclists.  She has continued to dedicate and volunteer her time to growing the sport through cycling camps and clinics.
